Autofocus or manual focus issues

from The Perceptive Photographer

I was recently helping a friend who was insistent that his camera lens needed to be adjusted because it wasn't able to properly autofocus. I tried to tell him that it was likely a technique issue, but he was insistent. So he and I got together to test the lens, and sure enough, it was him and not the lens. As I reflected on the experience, I got to thinking bout how many of us have a manual focus autofocus issue in our photography. In the old days, most people who missed focus would assume it was them and not the camera, but as automation comes into play with "better" technology, we seem to blame the gear quickly. In this week's podcast, we talk about how we approach the source of a problem that can have reaching implications into our shooting and editing of our photographs. No matter what issues you face as a photographer, you will need to sort out how you will approach things when it turns out that it isn't your camera but you that has an issue.
